Getting annoying Voltage Warning

[ChaosAD]

I was wondering if anybody could fill me in on a voltage warning that I've been getting? It pops up every 10 seconds or so and it is rather irritating.

Is it trying to say that my voltage is too high or too low? It is a very uninformative warning.

Also, yes I have got my CPU & RAM OC'd

Could you take a screenshot of a program like HWMonitor normally, and then when it occurs? Just keep it running while you're doing things, then when you see the warning appear take a screenshot of HWMonitor.

It's indicates that your +3.3Voltage (which should be around 3.3, but it allows a few points either way) is too low. However, it could be ASUS AI Suite bugging out, mine did it a while back but with my Motherboard temps (said I was hitting 128C, and It was astronomically far off). If it's not bugging out you may need a replacement PSU. What are your current specs?

Your +3.3V rail is low, putting out only 2.952V according to that message. Personally, I'd check out the power supply outputs and confirm it. If it really is putting out low voltage, I'd look at replacing the power supply.

The reason I recommend verifying is because I have seen motherboards that will read a bit off on the voltage readings. HWMonitor may or may not be accurate here, as it relies on a sensor on the motherboard, possibly the same one that ASUS AI Suite uses. If you can hook up a power supply tester or a multimeter (carefully so nothing gets shorted out), that would give you a reading directly from the power supply.

I'm pretty certain it's not the power supply that's the issue. I have an almost new Corsair HX850. They're pretty much bomb proof. It only started doing it after I OC'd my CPU

If there's one thing I've learned from working on computers, it's that even good quality parts can be defective. It may be just a sensor problem, but until you test the power supply, you can't be sure.

Okay then I'll rephrase that.
I know it's not my PSU.

As I said, monitor it with HWMonitor. AI Suite could be buggy.
